HoloLens FOV similar to standing “2ft from 15in monitor,” up to 5.5 hours battery life

Speaking at an event in Tel Aviv recently, Microsoft’s Bruce Harris shared a few new tidbits of information on the company’s Augmented Reality device HoloLens.

According to Harris, via Neowin, the wireless HoloLens can run up to 5.5 hours on a single charge when used normally. Heavy usage will knock the battery life down to 2.5 hours.

The device will have a field of view similar to a person “standing two feet away from a 15-inch monitor,” Neowin reports. It will also connect to all tethered devices via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi even if located in different rooms.

Harris didn’t offer an estimated price for the consumer model, but said in order to keep the price down, the battery life and field of view were limited to the aforementioned functionality. Once the manufacturing process improves Microsoft will adjust the price.
